Yep, I like em full on grizzly bear. My college bf's knickname was "Sasquatch".

Pandora myfitnesspal icardio-syncs with my fitbit so I know how far I've run/walked but it doesn't count it double fitbit-syncs with myfitnesspal sworkit- new but so far I love it C2K free Monitor your weight-mostly just got this one for extra credit on acheivemint I just added fooducate and fitradio, thanks for the…

Is Jack Black embarrassing enough? What can I say, funny does it for me. @christy0111- The goblin king totally could have taken my little brother.

I can see why you might do it as a timesaver, and I like the idea of adding veggies. I haven't really eaten those things in a while but aren't they kind of expensive too? Consider the pros and cons for you, just remember that smart ones or any prepackaged meals aren't a necessity to losing weight. :)

Agreed. You're better off buying a food scale and keeping your portions in check that way.

I try to assume that people aren't trying to be malicious, otherwise I'd go nuts. Sometimes what is meant to be a compliment just comes out wrong. So far I haven't really had anything negative, I've mostly gotten, "You've lost weight haven't you? What have you been doing?" No assumptions about how I'm doing it, just a…

I'm 5'5' (or was it 5'6"? I can never remember) and at my heaviest weight of 217 I wore a size 16. I currently weigh 170 lbs and I'm just now starting to squeeze into 13's...barely. I blame roller derby for my thunder thighs and big booty. I still love them though. :heart:

I want someone ballsier than me to do this and then tell me how it goes.

I've had my fitbit for a couple of months and I still adore it. I really feel that it has made my weightloss journey easier. Best $100 I've ever spent!

Mine are mostly noise related. If you get on a bike or treadmill and proceed to have a full on conversation on your cellphone, I want to murder you. I also can't stand loud, excessive grunting when people are lifting weights. Are you lifting weights or trying to go #2?

Personally, I think the only appropriate response to any statement beginning with "you'd be so hot if..." is to walk away while flipping them the bird. On a side note, I'm very pleased to find a thread where no one has been a total a$$hat. Good job folks! :drinker:

I must not have phrased that the way I meant for it to be, because I don't really see why you are taking exception to what I said. I was just trying to say that even IF you think your metabolism is slow and that your "skinny friends with fast metabolisms" have an unfair advantage, well, tough t*ts. Life isn't fair, the…

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one who likes chest hair.

I think whether you agree or not is irrelevant, what matters is whether or not you're willing to work with what you've got. Even if you do have a slow metabolism, are you just going to sit back and accept it or are you going to do the extra work?

Ditto. I haven't given up anything. Budget it into your calories or go out and earn it before you eat it.

I love the Oatmeal! I believe in the Blerch! :) I did actually read the whole post, or at least most of it. I've recently had a mental shift and I'm still not sure how I did it. I felt like you, I was always beating myself up over every little thing. I think one day I'd just had enough, I'd had enough of feeling like crap.…

I started losing faster when I started eating more and exercising more. I lost 3 lbs last week and I don't think I had a day where I ate less than 1600. I feel super and I have tons of energy. I tried eating less in the past and just found that it made me cranky and lethargic with minimal weight loss that I would soon gain…

A lot of people seem to get the idea in their head that if they lose weight they'll be happy and all their other problems will just disappear. Seeing a professional is really the best advice I think anyone can give you. The only thing I have to add is if you aren't working out regularly, then start doing that. My mood…

In other news, air is making us fat. Quick, everyone stop breathing! http://news.discovery.com/earth/air-pollution-obesity-120315.htm

Keep eating your veggies. I've diary stalked too and noticed the same thing, small amounts of crap and nothing else. Some people don't/can't/won't workout so they eat less to create a calorie deficit and it's not necessarily good stuff. It seems a lot of people are fine with this as their weight loss plan, but I know I'd…

Like most people have already said, you can have chocolate, just do so in moderation. If you try to completely deny yourself you might lose control one of these days and scarf down an entire bag of snickers. Just work it into your calorie budget.

I started losing weight once I stopped thinking about "going on a diet". I don't "diet" I make good choices. I log all of my food and weigh it. I let myself have a few things like tortilla chips or whatever but I ALWAYS weigh them. If you can't do really strenuous exercises right now, then walk, and the next day walk a…

I double up on the sports bras (because I want those suckers strapped down!) and put my phone in the pocket in between. Holds my phone nicely and I don't get it sweaty!

I've had a fitbit flex for a couple of months now and I just love it. The fact that it's a bracelet means that I never forget the darn thing, and it syncs up with MFP which is brilliant as well. It doesn't track your heartrate but I still think it gives you are really good idea of how active you've been and a fair estimate…

You've made life changes instead of starving yourself for a few months and then gaining it all back. Good for you! The fact that your medication is down is awesome, just keep going with those life changes and you will eventually reach your goal.

I usually eat around 1800 every day and try to get a good mix of foods and lots of fiber. I'm rarely (if ever) hungry and still have my little splurges. I've been steadily losing and I'm a lot happier than when I was eating about 1400. Feel free to add me! Edit: Buy a food scale so you know what portions really look like.…

Fall! The leaves are gorgeous and the weather is perfect, I'm a total wimp when it comes to temperature extremes. I knit a lot, so I get to wear all of my pretty hand knit things. Plus all of the delicious seasonal cinnamon and pumpkin flavored treats come out, yum!

Either eat your calories back or up your daily intake and don't eat them back. I was eating about 1400 for a while and I was only losing about 1/2 lb a week. Now I'm more like 1800 and I'm actually losing faster. I know it's counterintuitive, but I'm not the only one who's had this happen.

"You look better with some weight on you, it makes it so you don't have so much of a horse face." Excuse me, a horse face? To be fair though, this person has asperger syndrome, I think she was genuinely trying to be nice.

That undivided lustful leering is known as the "care bear stare". The more you know...
